Truant adult son
Our only son (now 25 years) had left studies (he was a good student) after 12th grade and has been dependent on us since. We could not reason with him to get back to school and get a job. He is NOT mentally ill or DOES NOT have ANY bad habit. He stays with us with NO special demand but whatever we provide and spends the day watching movies/series and going out to play/gym/friends. He just doesn't want to do anything and take responsibilities. Counselling has not helped and after initial 3-4 years he has refused to go for any help (which he thinks he doesn't need). He doesn't want to do any business as well though we have offered to support him in that too. He lies to people about what he does (since he was bright people think he must be into something). We had to cut ourselves off from all friends and relatives and have minimal social life because of this embarrassment. He tells us that the only option we have is to THROW HIM OUT LEGALLY. Do we have any option to push him out of our lives - the goal is to make him understand that it will be difficult without education and earning, so that he gets back on track. We are mid-fifties. What are our options?

Son is adult so legally parents are under no legal obligation to maintain him. By adopting legal recourse parents can disown the son.

So pursue and to encourage the son and make him understand. Being parent guide your son. Being parent you are morally bound to look after wellbeing of son which is natural also.
The adult son is no more a dependent on his parents.
The father of the son can very well refuse to maintain the adult son who is simply idling at home without supporting his parents in any manner.
You can ask him to leave the house and look for his shelter and expenses on his own,.
If he refuses to do so, then you can take the help of law in this regard.
Dear client,
Sorry to hear about your situation.
- Children's ignorance about the value of education is the primary cause of their lack of interest in studying. It is the duty of educators and parents to help kids realize the value of education in one's life. Youngsters who do not understand the value of education frequently approach their studies with a very casual attitude. You must first comprehend why my child is not interested in studying in order to be able to assist them.
- When it comes to studying, the environment is crucial. And this could be the cause of your kids' lack of enthusiasm in learning. One of the main causes of your child's lack of interest in studying is their environment; perhaps there are many distractions occurring at home that keep your child's attention from their studies. Therefore, it is your duty as a responsible parent to give your kids a suitable atmosphere.
- To pique your child's curiosity about learning. It's important that you pay attention to their hobbies. Individuals have different conceptions of learning. It's possible that your youngster is struggling with learning rather than learning itself. It is uninteresting or unsettling to him/her. Thus, you ought to make an effort to identify a passion. For instance, if your youngster enjoys animals or stories well, this is an example. After that, you ought to begin connecting things to their area of interest. This will support your child in maintaining concentration and attention while studying. And it won't be dull and uncomfortable for them anymore.
Hope this helps you.
That's really funny indeed. If he's not into any bad behavior or delinquent activities, I fail to see why you complain. Enjoy his company, engage him in your household chores and make merry. Afterall he doesn't have any special demand.... So just share your bread, roof and life with him and enjoy. You are blessed to have a son like him.
You can push him out only when he is adult not before
- Legally, parents cannot force their adult son to live with them and force him for any work , and the son is free to take step as per is wish.
- However, the said son also cannot force the parents to support him if he decides to stay separately from them.
- Further , as per Delhi High Court , the major son has no right to stay with his parents legally , if parents want to evict him due to his mistreat.
- Hence, you cannot take any legal action against him except to do something for his welfare. as he already attain the age of majority.
i will have to check if you can apply to the Senior Citizens Tribunal [which i doubt as you said that you are in your mid-fifties]
so the only option that remains is to file an eviction suit against your own son to evict him from your house
this way you can THROW HIM OUT LEGALLY
once he gets the court summons of the suit, i think he should come on line, unless he contests your suit on some grounds [which he may come up with since you said that he was a bright student]
but doing this means souring of relations and inviting bitterness
but since your own son has challenged you to THROW HIM OUT LEGALLY, you may very well explore filing such a suit
